Sorry for the long delay in replying. I can't reproduce your issue, even
with recent versions of cython. The issue is that pyximport (a module
that lets you directly import .pyx cython modules) installs successfully
on your machine, but then fails to find such a module. I've made a
change to the line that fails for you in git. That change doesn't make a
difference for me, but it might for you. Please let me know if you've
had more success with that.

Right--for now there's a CG solver there. But there's (almost) nothing
GPU-specific about that solver, so porting others (such as BiCGstab or
GMRES) should be straightforward--many such codes can be stolen and then
adapted from scipy.

HTH,
Andreas
